The check-in information was a bit late getting to me, but I screwed up the check out date and they totally accommodated me. Lived the unit - very nice and well appointed. Hope to stay again in the future.

Hi Cyndi - and thanks so much for staying with us and for taking the time to write some kind words! I apologize if my check in info felt late, I guess I need to step up my game! I usually send that the day of, but based on your feedback, I will do my best to reach out sooner. Thanks again and have a great holiday!
This place has everything you need to feel like you’re at home. Wonderful location that’s a short drive to monarch mountain ski resort and many other great locations in Salida and Poncha Springs. The hosts were very helpful for any questions or needs. Would stay again 100%!

Thanks so much, Zeb, we loved hosting your sweet family!
Cute decor, nicely updated, and great hosts. The private patio next to the stream was good. Blankets were soft and cozy. Shared fire pit and back yard were a nice feature. Bunk beds were a little firm for the adults in our group, but fine for the kids. The kitchen had everything we needed and the coffee was delicious. Location was convenient and we would stay here again.

Thanks so much, Maria for outlining some of the best features of our little mountain getaway. Sorry to hear about the beds not suiting the adults! Thanks for the feedback. We certainly loved hosting your lovely family!
I can sum up our stay by saying now that we’re home, we wish we were back. Dawn and Jimmy are THE nicest people. They made sure we had everything we needed including beer! Out of all the VRBOs we’ve been to over the years, this was our favorite. They had great recommendations for things to do and places to eat or have a beverage. We highly recommend staying here.
